Darwin

the intelligent machine benchmark

Reducing cycletimes of machines and bottleneck processes

Darwin, the intelligent machine benchmark, learns a virtual ideal process on the basis of high-frequency PLC data from several machines and thus provides a target value how fast each machine could be and how to get there. Based on this, Darwin continuously generates concrete recommendations for reducing the cycle time. Maintenance departments are empowered by Darwin to avoid breakdowns before they happen thanks to early warnings.

Which problems does Darwin tackle?

Production capacity needs to be increased

No transparency about actual and ideal production behavior

High fixed costs and unit costs for fully automated machines
Competitive and differentiation pressure in the market for machine manufacturers

Which benefits does Darwin deliver?

Increase in output per time per machine by reducing cycle time

Identification of performance potential regarding cycle time
Early warning system before breakdowns
Maintenance and process optimization actions can be effectively scheduled
